Default New baller Wheels Ordered!

Hey Guys,

Here is a teaser of the wheels in a similar offset:



The Baller lugs I will be running:













And now the Craziest offsets you will ever see on a stock body s2000!

18 x 9 +40 *A disc for BBK*
18 x 10 +37 *C disk for Max Lipage*

Comments are welcome!!!

What size tire do you plan on stretching, 235?

The offset up front is nothing special but if you can run that offset in the rear without the bead of the wheel sticking out, I will give you props.

I am running lower offsets than you , but your lip should most definitely be nice!

I will be running RE-01R's which are typically wider tires by nature...

Fronts: 225/40/18
Rears: 255/35/18

Yeah I could run lower but I wanted to fit a BBK later on down the road
Mike over at Bulletproof almost has me convinced on the ORC BBK... Damn you mike lol Damn you getting me to spend my money like this

The rears will have close to a 4in lip the fronts because of the disk type will be 1 1/2 in lip.

I know that though your offset equates to an offset that is a few mm lower than mine in the rear with a tire that will be even more stretched. Hopefully the bead of your wheel doesn't protrude outward more than your tires since they are so "baller," you most certainly don't want them to get scratched.

I am assuming that you are cutting the lip on the rear fenders as well as possibly flaring them slightly.

Should look gangster when you are done so long as you are dumped. Be sure to let us know how badly you rub.

I will be rolling and pulling all the fenders. The fronts I know wont rub. The rears should be around -3 degrees of camber and I will only lower as much as needed not to rub lol.

Not really a fan of the blue accenting on the wheels (since your car is Laguna though, you should be able to pull it off) but this is gonna look insane once it's all finished
